Describing activities, bodies, or processes that are not part of the formal process of creating, enacting, or modifying laws. This encompasses a broad spectrum, including actions taken by government branches outside the legislative (parliamentary or congressional) body, as well as activities undertaken by private organizations, individuals, or international entities. It often involves administrative, executive, judicial, or informal actions, focusing on the implementation, enforcement, or interpretation of existing laws, or addressing societal issues without the direct involvement of lawmaking. non-legislative endeavors can range from policy implementation and judicial review to public awareness campaigns and private sector initiatives. The term highlights a distinction from the core legislative function of formulating and passing laws. The actions undertaken by non-legislative bodies provide checks and balances, helping to ensure that the legislative body upholds its role.
